Lord Drayson: In answering this question it has been possible only to give total numbers of items stolen or mislaid on a global basis, including those deployed on operations overseas. Specifying items stolen or mislaid from Ministry of Defence property would involve trawling through the details of each theft/loss report and would incur disproportionate effort. The number of Armed Forces-owned weapons that have been stolen in each of the last five years is set out below:
	
		
			 Year Pistol Mil rifle SMG LMG/G PMG Mortars A/Tank Antique/Other Shot Gun Baton Gun Tgt Rifle Total

Baroness Scotland of Asthal: The Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2005 provide exceptions from the offence of possession of psilocybe fungi. The regulations make clear under what circumstances it is not unlawful to possess magic mushrooms. The regulations also enable my right honourable friend, the Home Secretary, to issue a licence in respect of the production, supply, offer to supply or possession of psilocybe fungi for research purposes rather than for general use. A person does not commit an offence of possession of psilocybe fungi if the mushrooms are growing uncultivated on their land. A person does not commit an offence of possession if they pick psilocybe fungi for disposal (that is, for destruction or delivery to a person who can lawfully take custody of them) as soon is reasonably practicable and holds them in accordance with that purpose. The Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, for example, is licensed to lawfully take custody of psilocybe fungi for botanical and research purposes. There is no obligation on landowners to remove psilocybe fungi which are growing uncultivated on their land.

Lord Hylton: asked Her Majesty's Government:
	Whether they will consider suspending the application of the sub judice rule, so as to enable the reports of the Prisons Ombudsman on deaths in custody to be published, once these have been delivered.
